PKK ends unilateral truce with Turkey: KCK
2023-06-14
[Rudaw] The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is ending the unilateral ceasefire it had implemented in the wake of the devastating earthquake in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
, the Kurdistan Community Union (KCK) said in a statement on Tuesday.

The PKK had announced a unilateral truce on February 10, days after strong twin earthquake struck the southern provinces in Turkey. The purpose of the ceasefire, according to the group, was to allow all resources to be focused on rescue efforts. The truce was extended in March to include the Ottoman Turkish elections period.

The announcement was made by the KCK, an umbrella organization consisting of several groups including the PKK. Published on PKK-affiliated Hawar News Agency (ANHA), the statement read "We are announcing that we are terminating our decision of inaction as of today."

It added that Ottoman Turkish authorities continued anti-PKK operations despite the truce they had announced, mentioning the killing of Huseyin Arasan who was killed in Sulaimani on Friday as an example. The "resumption of active struggle" is inevitable, the statement added.

Over 50,000 people were killed in the earthquake that rocked 10 provinces in Turkey on February 6.

In May, Turkey held its presidential and parliamentary elections which saw incumbent President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) reelected to lead the country for the next five years.
